	Stability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Instantaneous stability, or intact stability, a measure of how a vessel's buoyancy is distributed
		Directional stability, or the tendency for a body moving with respect to a medium to point in the direction of motion.
		Stable polynomial, a polynomial whose roots all lie in the open left half-plane or whose roots all lie in the open unit disk

	Basics of Design Engineering - Electrical/Electronic - Power Supplies - Specifications
		Instantaneous output voltage is affected by the ripple present.
		Power-supply stability is the percent change of output voltage as a function of time.
		A stability figure is often stated for warm-up, based on a short time period, typically 20 min, as well as for long term, typically a 24-hr period.

	Instantaneous control
		Instantaneous control computes an approximation to the next optimal move by applying exactly one step of the gradient method to the solution of the instantaneous control problem and applies the approximate control to advance to the next time slice.
		In its nature instantaneous control is a discrete-in-time feedback control approach and, as shall be shown, can be interpreted as the stable time discretization of a closed-loop control law [12].
		Instantaneous control is applied to the control of the Burgers equation in [16].

	UF High Speed Machining FAQ
		In general, stability lobe diagrams are developed by selecting the cutting parameters, which include the process-dependent specific cutting energy coefficients, radial immersion, and system dynamics (often selected as the tool point frequency response, although the workpiece dynamics must also be considered in some instances), then carrying out the selected simulation algorithm.
		In the stability lobe diagram shown in Figure 3, the peaks of the stable regions where deeper cuts are possible (i.e., where the ‘good cut’ is identified) correspond to this favorable ‘in phase’ condition.
		A stability lobe diagram is a plot that separates unstable combinations of chip width, or axial depth of cut in peripheral end milling, and spindle speed (i.e., those that produce chatter) from stable combinations.

	Naval architecture
		Instantaneous stability is a measure of how the vessel's buoyancy is distributed.
		Ultimate stability is concerned with where the vessel's center of gravity has been located.
		Damaged stability gives an indication of the ability of the ship to survive a collision, grounding, of explosion in which the hull is breached and water enters 1 or more compartments of the ship.

	Blind Source Separation
		Stability is analyzed for instantaneous mixtures and an example of tap weight convergence is shown for both instantaneous and convolutive mixtures.
		The stability criterion is difficult to determine for the general case, but it is simple if the mixture is instantaneous and the observations are identically zero after a finite number of samples.
		For both the instantaneous mixture and the convolutive mixture, the symmetric adaptive decorrelator was able to find a solution close to the optimal.

		Title: On the Stability and Instantaneous Velocity of Grasped Frictionless Objects Summary: The author has two main contributions: 1) The author proposes a metric for force-closure (Note 1) which is the minimum positive value of the internal force vector.
		The author then defines a stable equlibrium of configuration of a fixed finger position grasp as the local minima of a gravitational potential energy field (Note 2).
		A restatement of this is that the system will instantaneously move in the direction in which it "fights" the external force the least, subject to the constraints.

	Statement from the Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP to the IMFC on Sunday 29 April 2001
		So we meet here as countries determined to steer a course of stability and sustained growth; and at a time of slowing world economic growth, this is a moment not for retreating from global economic cooperation or losing faith in its efficacy and turning inwards, but a time for enhanced global cooperation.
		But this responsibility to participate in maintaining a stable financial system also demands new actions and commitments from national governments and from the official sector as a whole to establish the presumption of private sector involvement in a fair and predictable manner.
		The responsibility of private investors to share fairly the burden with the official sector should be matched by the right to expect fair and consistent treatment by the official sector in times of crisis, and to be kept informed by national governments and through reliable, transparent and comprehensive surveillance from the IMF.

	Section One
		The "frequency stability" of an oscillator is a term used to characterize how small the frequency fluctuations are of the oscillator signal.
		One goal is to measure the frequency and/or the frequency stability of the sinusoid.
		It is only important to know k if the absolute time difference is desired; for frequency and frequency stability measurements and for time fluctuation measurements, k may be assumed zero unless one goes through a cycle during a set of measurements.

	Role of Feedforward Control of Movement Stability in Reducing Slip-Related Balance Loss and Falls Among Older Adults -- ...
		A schematic definition of the stability measure inside of the feasible stability region (open region) that separates the forward ("Forward LOB-S", shaded in gray) and the backward ("Backward LOB-S", shaded in gray) balance loss regions mathematically derived for slip conditions in the center of mass (COM) state space.
		Stability at seat-off is measured by the shortest inwardly directed distance (d) to the COM state at seat-off (at location s with triangle) from the backward loss of balance boundary of the feasible stability region.
		Larger values of predicted stability in (a) and (b) are interpreted as increased stability against backward balance loss and decreased stability against forward balance loss.

	Nonlinear Stability Analysis for a Class of TCP/AQM Networks
		By proportional feedback we mean the marking probability is proportional to the instantaneous queue length.
		In this work we address these non-linearities directly and establish some stability results when the marking is proportional.
		In the case of delay-free marking, we show the systems equilibrium point to be asymptotically stable for all proportional gains.

	America's Rabbi \| Judeo-Christianity Girds America
		This instantaneous greatness bespoke a founding ethos, something concrete, not something haphazardly evolved.
		No, the uniqueness and stability which is America lies necessarily in a protean philosophy precipitant to such a model and outcome, i.e., a wellspring precisely suited to deliver those national aspects by which America is known and which provides its success.
		Though sourced in religion and Scripture, the importance for society of Judeo-Christianity lay in its spawning of cultural norms, so that already by the time of Benjamin Franklin's writings, the Calvinist religious ideals of frugality, hard work, and thrift were conspicuous societal attributes, even among those not attending services.

	Instantaneous Discs
		Created using a special turntable either acoustically or magnetically, instantaneous discs created immediately available recordings that were unique, consumer-initiated sonic time capsules of a period in which media innovations were broadening and linking the world in a way quite similar to present day computer technology and the internet.
		Although it is arguable that instantaneous disc recordings were available throughout the advancing material history of the sound recording disc, it seems that the specific manufacture of instantaneous discs and the devices on which to record these discs for wide-spread use begins in 1934 with the cellulose nitrate laminate disc.
		Cellulose nitrate, while certainly not a champion of stability, is however much more durable and has better playback sound quality than its soft wax or ethyl cellulose counterparts, which may be part of the reason that instantaneous discs are widely understood to be composed of only that material.

		A relationship is stable for one partner if there is less chance that the other will leave.
		Since both partners are making these evaluations, the stability of the relationship for one companion depends on the stability of the relationship for the other and as such, separations rates are endogenous.
		It is shown that these feedback effects in search strategies generate a new type of multiple equilibria which is either stable or unstable depending on individuals' beliefs.

	Tweaking the Mark XII: Part 2.1 - TimeZone
		SRSP is a measure of the (relatively) instantaneous stability of rate, with no regard to a time standard.
		Without good stability over time and between positions, absolute rate is a moot point because it cannot be reliably accomplished.
		With good stability over time and between positions, absolute rate is a simple matter of adjusting the effective length of the balance spring with the regulator (or, in the case of adjustable mass balances, the center of mass of the balance).

	Pop Ecol Lect 04 16-Jan
		One way of assessing the stability of a system is to conduct perturbation experiments.
		In that case, the population will tend to stay where it is. This is neutral stability -- if the population size changes (say through a factor we are currently ignoring such as immigration) there will not be a tendency to return to the starting point.
		With more complicated and realistic equations, stability analysis can become more technically challenging, but the basic logic is the same.

		A hedged Stochastic calculus of variations is introduced where the reduced length of the variation propagate according a linear ODE, defining the instantaneous rate of liquidity.
		In a model free situation, an approach to get the instantaneous rate of liquidity is proposed through measurements of iterated volatilities.
